FWB CO2 equivalent of model 58 5 shot repeater

Post by machinist mike »

As the title says, what was the 5 shot repeater powered by CO2 made by FWB a number of years ago. Just curious, I already have a Steyr LP-5 and wondered what the FWB equivalent was. Was it as reliable as the Steyr. Any comments?

Thanks

Mike

First version was called C5. I had one in 1990s, it wasn't all that reliable.

I have one and it is one of my favs. In competition you can only use the single round clip. It has been very reliable. You get maybe 120 shots from the co2 tank. No recoil. Occasionally I use the five round clip just for fun. Because of the feeding mechanism of the five round clip it is considered complex. That is where some of the problems lie. There has been a P58 on gun broker for some time. Started a $2500. Get a new one from champions choice for that. Now it is at $1300. Still no takers. They don't come up for sale that often.
